Clearwater Knee Injury Attorney

The knee is the largest joint in the body. It contains the anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, the medial meniscus, and the patella (kneecap), among other ligaments. It also connects to the femur, fibula, and tibia.

Knee injuries often occur through degeneration or repetitive movements, but they can also the result of vehicle accidents or falls. Common injuries are:

Tears in the meniscus (the rubbery cushions around the kneecap)

Ligament tears, like a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Kneecap dislocation

Knee joint dislocation

Breaks or fractures

Injuries to the knee can be serious. They often require surgery, either immediately or if injury becomes worse over time. During surgery, a surgeon inserts a camera into the knee through a small incision. This is called arthroscopic surgery. This way, a surgeon can visualize the injury before repairing it. For more serious injuries, open knee surgeries may also be required.

Surgery helps with immediate pain or immobility, but knee injuries can have lasting effects, and contribute to future degenerative issues. Like all injuries, a knee injury may lead to struggles in keeping up with your job or enjoying your hobbies.
